To me, this song represents what someone with depression/anxiety feels about the night. At least for me, the night can be dangerous. I start thinking in circle and becoming anxious. In the night, there is no one to talk to except for myself, and sometimes I don't really trust myself. "The horrors of the night melt away under the warm glow of survival of the day.Then we move on, my shadow grows taller along with my fears and my friends shrink smaller as night grows near." When the day comes around, our character in the song feels safe, he survived the night, he is going to be safe for this whole day.
"I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided.
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry"
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside."
When the night comes around again, the other side of him takes over and he snaps. He may hurt those around him because he can't control his emotions. He says things that hurt those he loves, but it makes him feel better, because he was able to release that blind fury that builds up from the internal struggles that become hard to fight when the night comes around.
